6mm arc build Howa Mini or buy complete

The biggest issues with the mini are

junk factory bottom plastic causing failures with feed eject and extract.

And manipulating the bolt quickly leads to the trigger pull getting heavy/single stage unless you recock.

regarding bottom medals, are Jeffs the only one worth spending the money on? And, how often do they come in stock? lol...

I might switch my trigger out for a Jard due to this - definitely annoying.

The JO and Oregunsmithing are the only two I'm aware of. I went with the JO. If you email them and ask to be on the waitlist, they will **supposedly** let you know when they come in stock.

I never got the notification from them. Someone posted here or on a FB Howa Mini page and I was able to snag one a few months ago.

I've thought of the OS one, but read not a lot of folks like it.

Brownells has a bottom metal for the Howa mini. It’s what I used. I like it. Way better than the factory plastic.

I’d love to find a different magazine though.
